Meet Dharma Kelleher

I grew up reading crime novels by Lawrence Block, Sara Paretsky, and Sue Grafton. I loved the stories, the gritty characters and the fast-paced action.

After I came out as transgender, I read queer mysteries by Katherine V. Forrest, Ellen Hart, and others.

I realized I wanted to write action-packed stories of crime and justice, but featuring protagonists like me.

Since then, I've published a dozen crime thrillers about queer women who kick ass with many more to come.

If issues of representation, diversity, and justice are important to you, curl up with one of my thrillers. You won't regret it.
